Unresolved Hidden Pandemic

they tell us we're all wrong 

forced to engage in their man-made slavery

so entitled yet their wrong-doing 

is never distinguished

yet leaves bloodstained arteries

Fleischhack, J. (2020) 'Black Lives Matter, Manchester'

whilst we fall apart

they enrich from our divisions

how do we expect our children 

to engage with their dysfunctional visions?

in a world controlled by some ancient author

who sat in his throne

sheep to the organic slaughter

leaving traps that snap-back

like a rubber band

wondering why they live each day

burying their heads in the sand 

this is a war between 'them' and 'us'

don't let them make you feel like

you are not enough
